Discovery of New Genes Involved in Curli Production by a Uropathogenic <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content> Strain from the Highly Virulent O45:K1:H7 Lineage

ABSTRACT Curli are bacterial surface-associated amyloid fibers that bind to the dye Congo red (CR) and facilitate uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) biofilm formation and protection against host innate defenses. Here we sequenced the genome of the curli-producing UPEC pyelonephritis strain MS7163...
